I finally got to meet the infamous TIEFLY at Triviapalooza this year. He's a ridiculous person and therefore I love him. But I never would have guessed him to be a poet. He wrote an awesome poem for me and I did my best to reciprocate. I'm posting it here for those of you who aren't on Facebook, because you may be mentioned in it (and if you're not, you'll probably be in Part II, which will come after next year's Triviapalooza): This is the start of a poem, for my new wonder twin, Sharon D. Allen. YOU ASKED FOR IT "Damn she's tall enough to stare down geese in flight" my first thought upon seeing the gypsy a blue haired lady liberty come to life armed with a battalion of booze instead of a book & a torch i was caught off guard somewhere between lust & fleeing from this inked up agent of the apocalypse she set the bounty of beverages beside me "drink up, I'm sharin'" "thank you for sharin'" "No dumbass my name is Sharon" having slammed one of her drinks i thought "oh shit" at these trivia events i trend towards being the loudest person doing the outlandish playing annoying music imbibing til i wrestle gravity the center of attention for stupid antics i didn't stand a chance this year sharon was better looking smarter wittier knew worse music than me & could handle vast quantities of liquor a 6 foot tall busty ex-military harley riding law student with a ready smile & glasses that she probably beat up Elvis Costello to get she told me "someone said i'm the female you" i looked at my reflection in the bar back mirror "i wish" i thought but in that atmosphere we were wonder twins ACTIVATE the power of alcohol & trivia answers i was glad she was at this event a warrior to save us from the dutch insurgence that is boomkamp i really liked her but she scares me ___________ Here is mine to him: PART I There are some players known wide and far And I’ve met them at dozens of bars I have played with GRIFF And his left hand, GLIFF I have played in Louisville with SCAR I met BEACHY, BADGER, and TOLLE, At a Dallas watering hole I’ve played with GONE D BLZBUB, MEEE HAMMER, ANON, DUFF, and LILJOL I know DANTE, JOHN L, and PENGWN GOGETM and WPM CLIPPER and KITT PROZAC, IDJIT Then I met TIEFLY, my Wonder Twin I had heard all about him for years I’d heard he could outdrink me in beers He was cat-scratching I thought, “Is it catching?” “And why are we considered to be peers?” I’d heard rumors, but I didn’t know it Very soon he started to show it He’s quite a strange creature Makes sense he’s a teacher But I’d never guess he’d be a poet He was filled up all the way to the brim Overflowing with vigor and vim Completely carefree Was he the male me? JETS said I was the girl version of him He was just this side of manic Though his energy seemed organic A sesquipedalian Tatterdemalion To my lexiphanic mechanic Then I saw the resemblance, really We're both ridiculously silly At the bar in Boston We both got lost in AJAX’s love for Milli Vanilli I have always thought that I was fun Up against TIEFLY, I was outdone My trivia playmate Wonder Twins, Activate! Our absurd friendship has only begun |
